I have had several fairly memorable dreams which
seem a response to sensory input of various types.

Once I dreamed I was an eagle perched high in a
fir tree.  The most spectacular aspect of my eagle
self was my incredibly keen vision.  It seemed I
could see a great distance with with phenominal
acuity.  When I later recalled this dream I realized
the immense natural beauty my eagle self had
seen without an awareness of beauty. 

The impression I retain of the eagle self is of its astoundingly mindless purity.

I believe I probably had this dream because I
really love the world of nature plus, at one time,
my parents owned property with an active eagle
nest.

I have had other extremely beautiful responsive
dreams, but this is enough to make my point.
